As you may already know, BSD is a smaller community than Linux, there are less people to help "new users"... and that BSD frequently gets new users from Linux these days, instead of someone who have only used Windows for their entire life, the general expectation from a new BSD user is just so much different than a new Linux user.

For BSD to be more "new user" friendly there need to be bigger community so that there are people to help "new users"; but you need new users to grow the community!! It is a catch 22 isn't it?

But not every BSD users/developers are aiming for userbase or "n00b friendliness", from what I have seen OpenBSD are generally not as patient as other BSD's when it comes to "n00b".
